Right. You mentioned it in your very first post in this thread, but I
skipped over it. My bad.

Ah, sorry. The correct command is “gpg --keyserver
'hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net' --recv-keys 'FINGERPRINT'” (that is,
replace “--fingerprint” with “--recv-keys”).

There is no relation between “is self-contained binary” and whether it
is in Debian. Again, borgbackup is available in Debian 8, but you have
to enable backports.

Moreover, Debian package borgbackups is not a self-contained binary. It
uses the package manager to install the dependencies, just as any other
package. It makes more sense this way when it is installed through the
package manager.

By the way, I recommend to use GNU Stow
<https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/> when installing packages manually.
It makes administration much easier when several packages are installed,
and more so when upgrading or deleting packages.

The point is to keep each “package” (roughly, any program distributed
and installed as a whole; this is unrelated to packages as in apt-get)
in a directory exclusively of its own use under /usr/local/stow, or any
other directory. Then GNU Stow makes symbolic links from the directories
where the system expect the package to be (e.g.: /usr/local/bin) to the
place where the package is actually installed. This way you do not have
to remember which files belong to which package when uninstalling a
manually installed package. GNU Stow will also display a warning if you
try to install (using GNU Stow) packages that have colliding files,
instead of having them override eachother as would happen when doing
“make install”.

Regards.
